Autumn was really short.
Qing Huan was injured in the spring and fainted in the summer. When she left Jing He, it was already autumn. The journey was winding, and when they arrived, they were converted, and the autumn color reached the human world deeply. No matter how beautiful a girl was, she would always wear a thin shirt with an outer layer. At this time, Weaving Cloud Brothel launched a series of dazzling capes and outerwear.
The more elegant ones were plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, pine, jade, and snow. The color was also lighter. White and cyan were the main colors, and there were also a few light lotus-colored ones. The gentler ones were the water ripples of Magnolia, with light powder as the main ingredient. There were also some more charming and lively ones, pink, red, tender green, and light yellow. It was embroidered with all kinds of patterns.
As the owner of Weaving Cloud Brothel, Qing Huan naturally had the right to be special. She had already finished painting the rose pattern. It was complicated but elegant, gentle and beautiful. As it was getting cold these days, Weaving Cloud Brothel sent someone to deliver this one finished product. Qing Huan was very satisfied.
It was a light lotus color, and the light patterns were embroidered on her shoulder. It was like a rose in spring blooming on her shoulder, one flower pressing the other, one petal overlapping the other. It was naturally placed in front of his chest. At the bottom of the skirt, there were scattered qi petals.
In the clear but somewhat bleak autumn day, it was so beautiful that it did not seem like it was in the human world.
"Uncle Hua, I'm here." Qing Huan greeted the old man in the backyard and walked towards Zhenqing Garden with familiarity.
In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since he arrived. During this month, Qing Huan came to Mo Zhai almost every day to look for Zhang Nianqiu. Madam Suxue had already gone from turning a blind eye to occasionally coming over to chat with them.
Boiled frogs in warm water. Qing Huan had this idea. Her relationship with the four elders of the secluded valley had always been a secret. It was impossible to find out anything from her. Moreover, she was the daughter of a general and the princess of the royal family. There was no need for Lady Suxue to pay attention to her. The only possibility was that Madam Suxue had been secretly paying attention to the movements in the secluded valley for many years, or rather, she had been paying attention to Ji Huaijiang.
If it wasn't care, if it wasn't concern, if it wasn't love. How could there be such long-term attention?
Therefore, as time went on, she would be able to wear down the fervor that she had shown at the beginning.
Moreover, there was still a trump card-Zhang Nianqiu.
Madam Suxue could be considered a strong woman in this era. However, no matter what kind of woman she was, their children were always important in their eyes and hearts.
"Sister Huan 'er, you're here."
Qing Huan raised her head and saw Zhang Nianqiu looking at her from the corridor not far away. His eyes were filled with joy. During this month, Zhang Nianqiu had shed all of his child-like gloominess. He was getting happier by the day.
Accompany him and make him happy. This wasn't a difficult thing to do, nor was it difficult.
Although Zhang Nianqiu had the mind of a child, he had a rare sense of consideration. It was also very easy to satisfy. Often, a small matter could satisfy him. She had a bright smile on her face for the entire day.
His smile was not elegant, but it was real. It was very infectious. Including Qing Huan. Qing Huan often looked at Zhang Nianqiu's smile and became happy. Occasionally, she would think of another young man who conquered her with his smile, Baili Che.
Zhang Nianqiu's smile was pure and innocent. Zhang Nianqiu's sorrow was obvious.
Baili Che was different.
Baili Che was forbearing, lonely, and prideful. He was always smiling, as if he had no other emotions. His smile, even if it was fake, made people feel warm in their hearts. After he told her about Su Jiao's story that night, her feelings for him had increased by 30%.
Qing Huan's smile and fate with that youth would depend on whether time could defeat that short period of affection.
"Brother Nianqiu." Qing Huan let go of her thoughts and smiled without any ill feelings. Then, she went up to him.
Pillow in the Green Garden. In the bedroom.
"Sister Huan 'er, I don't want to sleep yet.”Zhang Nianqiu wanted to rub his eyes, but Qing Huan stopped him.
Qing Huan looked at Zhang Nianqiu's eyes that were covered with a white cloth and felt a little bitter. At this moment, his consideration was no longer purely to use him to abduct Madam Suxue. She truly wanted him to be well.
Qing Huan held Zhang Nianqiu's hand and spoke as gently as she could,""Brother Nianqiu, you can't even touch your eyes now. If Older Brother isn't sleepy, can Huan 'er talk to Older Brother?”
"Alright." A big smile appeared on Zhang Nianqiu's face. He did not feel any pain or discomfort from his eyes. He was afraid that he would feel guilty if he showed it.
Qing Huan recalled the moment when this man ran up to her in the afternoon and stood in front of her to block the lime powder. That kind of magnanimous and sincere protection. At this moment, he truly saw him as a friend and an elder brother.
Madam Suxue stood outside the door, her heart aching.
Qing Huan patiently chatted with Zhang Nianqiu. The hen in the backyard had hatched a nest of chicks. It was so cute and fluffy. Mother Li left the kitchen, and there was no more lotus seed cake to eat. Mother Lin's cooking wasn't delicious anymore. It rained yesterday. Uncle Hua ran out and fell on the vines. He was so pitiful.
One moment, he was happy, the next moment, he was depressed, and the next moment, he was worried.
Qing Huan looked on happily. This Brother Nianqiu really had his emotions written all over his face.
As he muttered, his voice gradually became blurry. Zhang Nianqiu finally let go of Qing Huan's hand. She fell asleep quietly. Qing Huan smiled and helped him pull the blanket up. She put both her hands under the blanket and adjusted the pillow. She tucked her hair behind her ears.
"Brother Nianqiu, have a good dream."”
In her dream, Nianqiu seemed to have heard Qinghuan's words and her lips curled up slightly.
Qing Huan extinguished the candle and turned to leave. He couldn't delay any longer. He had to go and talk. Originally, he wanted to wait until Madam Suxue could not stand it anymore and took the initiative to talk to her so that she could take the initiative. Now, her heartache for Nianqiu made her willingly give up her advantage.
Qing Huan was startled when she walked out of the room.
Madam Suxue, whom she was looking for, was standing in the corridor outside the door. He raised his head slightly and looked at the exceptionally vast autumn sky. It was clear and cloudless. It made people feel open-minded.
However, there was a lonely smile on her lips.
Noticing Qing Huan walking out, he turned around and slowly smiled. There was no vigilance or concern. "Miss Nalan, do you mind chatting with me?"”
"Madam, please call me Huan 'er." Qing Huan nodded.
"Alright, Huan 'er." Madam Suxue nodded." Follow me."”
The place where Lady Suxue brought Qinghuan was not far away. It was the Delightful Water Garden, which formed a triangle with Chunhui Garden and Zhenqing Garden. It was named after the clear water in the garden called "Yingkong". At this moment, Yingkong lived up to his name. The blue sky was reflected on the surface of a vast lake. Even the flying birds seemed to have created ripples.
At this moment, two graceful figures were reflected at the edge of the pool. She also had a slender waist and a long dress. She was also elegant and proud, floating in the air.
He stood quietly between the water and the sky. It was unlike the mortal world.
After a long time, the taller figure slowly sat on the huge rock by the pool, while the shorter one casually lifted her skirt and sat on the grass.
"Twenty-six years ago, I was like most young girls, innocent and ignorant.”Lady Suxue spoke lightly, as if she was going to tell a dusty story.
After a pause, she laughed again and squinted at Qing Huan." You're so experienced that you don't look like a child." I actually wanted to tell you, and I believed that you could understand.”
Qing Huan smiled and looked at Madam Suxue, her eyes looking far away. As he landed in the sky and water, he suddenly felt a little misty. It was as deep as the night.
"Although my Han family is not a wealthy family, we are also a famous scholarly family and a martial arts family. Most of the time, what an ancient family was most proud of was not their achievements, but their ancient traditions.”
Qing Huan sat quietly at the side and did not speak. She knew that Madam Suxue probably just wanted to sort out her feelings. He did not need the opinions of others.
"The Han family is one of those mysterious and ancient families. There was a tradition that was unreasonable but had to be strictly adhered to. Even siblings."
"It is said that the ancestors of the Han family were born on the ice mountain and had spiritual power. They could turn water into ice, breath into frost, and call the wind into snow. Therefore, in order to maintain the continuation of spiritual power, they had to ensure the purity of their bloodline.”
"The best method is to marry within the clan, especially between siblings.”
"None of the Han family's children can escape this fate. However, it was very strange that some couples not only did not give birth to smart children, but they even gave birth to children with physical or mental defects.”
Qing Huan was surprised. He didn't expect Han Suxue to be born into such a family. It was common knowledge that close relatives could not get married. However, in this era where people were happy to get closer to each other, it was obvious that no one had noticed this.
"I'm not the son of the Han family's eldest branch. They didn't need to be treated like animals to provide reproductive bodies.”
Lady Suxue's voice grew fainter and fainter, as if she was becoming more and more careless. Qing Huan could hear a trace of despair in this carelessness. This kind of despair came from Han Suxue more than twenty years ago. It was as if it was buried in her body, and now it could not help but overflow.
A young girl's fate had been determined from birth. The home that should have been warm and comfortable turned out to be an area sealed by darkness. The family that should have been kind and gentle turned out to be evil, crazy, and strange demons. She lived every day and night in great fear and uneasiness. How desperate must she be?
"That's why I haven't smiled since I was a child. My sadness, my helplessness, everything about me was buried under a cold mask. However, my appearance was too good, and I always attracted the attention of my brothers and even my uncles. My sisters are even jealous of me. They all wanted to marry their charming big brother, who was indeed a handsome and outstanding youth. However, they did not know that the seemingly gentle and harmless youth was actually the craziest one.”
"Or maybe, when everyone has gone crazy. I'm not crazy. This is the most painful thing." Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
